The pattern behind self-deception | Michael Shermer

Posted by

http://www.ted.com Michael Shermer says the human tendency to believe strange things — from alien abductions to dowsing rods — boils down to two of the brain’s most basic, hard-wired survival skills. He explains what they are, and how they get us into trouble.

Watch the leaked Xbox 360 Slim and Kinect ad: http://bit.ly/bUOCIv

Moments ago there were two big Microsoft Xbox related leaks. The first of which is the renaming of Xbox 360 Natal, which will now be known as Kinect. Kinect looks to be basically the same as the Natal we’ve been seeing for almost a year now but the Xbox 360 Slim is all new. It features a new very slim and angular design along with built in Wi-Fi, a 250 GB hard drive and of course full support for Kinect.

In this third episode of D3Live I discuss a very talked about topic: iPhone 4 vs. Android. There are of course many Google Android phones such as the upcoming Motorola Droid 2, the HTC Droid Incredible, the HTC EVO 4G among many many more. The question is however, how do they stack up against Apple with iOS 4 and the iPhone 4?

D3Live is a weekly show I do live on BlogTV every weekend (usually on Saturday). If you are interested in calling in live over Skype or just watching the show live, keep an eye out as I will post a video here on YouTube before I begin. http://www.blogtv.com/People/duncan33303
